Wedding Videos

312-953-2680 ted@providencevideo.com

Your wedding is one of the most important events in your life, yet all too often the bride and groom are too busy and distracted to truly enjoy every special detail. The special event that was months in the making is, sadly, over in the blink of an eye. The only things that remains after that amazing day are the wedding videos (and the presents, of course).

For years following the wedding, the family can celebrate special occasions by bringing out the wedding videos, so that the most detailed and realistic memories of the wedding can be once again brought to life and savored.

When I produce your wedding video, I focus on capturing the magic of the event without interfering. My 20 years of experience has allowed me to sharpen my skills so that instinctively, I will be positioned to videotape each special moment, without detracting from it.

I work closely with my clients to help them plan aspects of the wedding they may not have considered, especially where wedding videos are concerned. Here are some of the questions my clients often ask, along with my responses.

Preparing for the Wedding Video

A: Of course!

A: We can do a great job with one person, one camera. More are available at your preference.

A: It’s our job to be familiar. We call ahead and collect the information we need from the ceremony facility.
